Zico Foundation, a Thai nonprofit organization which helped Phromthep study in the U.K. through a soccer scholarship, wrote on Facebook Wednesday: “Zico Foundation would like to express our sorrow for the pass of Dom Duangpet Phromthep, a scholarship student from Zico foundation.”Phromthep was enrolled at The Brooke House College Football Academy.Phromthep was the captain of the Wild Boars soccer team which was rescued after being trapped in a flooded cave in a northern Thai province for two weeks in the summer of 2018.
